It depends on which stock rim. If it is the 7X15 crosspoke wheel, I think you can go to a 235.

But I would look at the stamping on the wheel (remove the center cap and the size should be marked as 7H 15J or something like that0 to find exact size. Then call Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com) with the wheel dimensions, model year car, and brand of wheel (probably BBS, but it should be stamped on wheel also) and they can tell you exactly what is the widest you can go with, and what aspect ratios are available in those widths (stock was 225/60/15).

Or, better yet, upgrade to 17" wheels...and low profile tires........It makes a world of difference!! ;-)

good luck

What is the largest tire that can be fitted on stock rims?
Thanks in advance
